Tuesday Type: Where Tech and Type Meet

The way we communicate is constantly evolving. We used to have to wait for the day’s paper to find out what was happening in the world, now that information finds us seconds after it happens with a push notification. In a world of devices from smartphones to wearables, one thing remains constant, the need for typography to communicate messages in a world where the next distraction is only a….SQUIRREL!!!
